Our Voices Together
Orcas Island Historical Museums invites the community to a story-sharing event for LGBTQ+ islanders on May 28th from 6–8pm at the Public Library. This casual after-hours event offers a chance to mingle and share stories over a shared meal, hosted in partnership with Orcas Island Library and Orcas Island Pride.
During the evening, attendees can learn more about the Orcas Voices Oral History program, which aims to amplify and preserve local stories of joy, hardship, and life on the island. Participants can also get crafty and press their own button or make a bookmark. The library will provide recommendations for LGBTQ+ books and story-sharing resources.
The event is free and includes a vegan and gluten-free dinner. Orcas Island Historical Museums can be contacted at info@orcasmuseums.org or 360.376.4849 for more information or to request accessibility accommodations. The event is a wonderful opportunity to connect with the community and look forward to Orcas Pride events, taking place June 12-14.
